Frock Coat Rescued -on
WASHINGTON — Washington tailors secured an official vindication of the
much maligned frock coat at the hands of the fashion committee of the
international custom cutters’ convention here This Is the supreme court of
masculine fashion and woe to the poor
wretch that dares defy Its mandates
All early caucuses of the convention
had determined the frock coat muet
go and that the cutaway was to taka
Its place
But threats of bolting on the part
of the Washington tailors forced the
fashion committee to surrender
Washington claims the distinction
of having the greatest per capita total
of frock coats outside of Terre Haute
— although why Terre Haute should be excepted no one knows The commit-
tee wrote the following vindication Into its announcement
“We wish to emphasise that the double-breasted frock coat Is by no means
relegated to the background While the three-button cutaway just at this
time la the most popular garment the frock coat ia worn by the highest
officials of our nation and this Itself maintains the dignity of this garment”
The saving clause however was put In It eeeme only for the benefit of
frock coats’ already In existence- No reputable tailor will manufacture any
more of them For the remainder of the long report minute details for the
architecture of cutaways are given without ever referring again to the double-
breasted affairs
Aa to the sack coat the committee condemns narrow shoulders but In-
sists on a tight waist and for those who dare It suggests that narrow braid be
worn
Then there are about a thousand words concerning "close contours’’
“high waist lines” “little dips” "waistcoat exposures” “crescent pocket lines”
and a lot of other things that only Jlmbam LewlB could understand
Keeping Tab on Things
MV DON'T like to aek you

but will you please give me change for a cup of
I haven’t any money with me and I'm so weak I can't go on'
The woman who asked might have stepped out of dear old grand-
mother’s chair by the chimney corner
Except that there are no chimney cor- ( PltASE GIVE
nere these daya and precious few old h Jmante yOR A
grandmothers
The woman who responded was Just
a so-so person who hurried on And
then felt ashamed of herBelf for not
taking the little old dame into a cafe
and seeing her safe home You have
to do a thing like that once In awhile
to feel that you were worth the Lord’s
creating 80 she turned back to atone
and had almost elbowed her way through the noon rush to the old woman
when again she heard the quavering appeal:
"I don’t like to ask you hut will you please give me change for a cup of
tea? I haven't any money with me and I'm so weak I can’t go on”
As a thing like that Is worth studying the bo-bo woman stood by and kept
tab After eight women and an earth-earthy young man had paid tribute the
old woman rested up long enough to turn around Then aha suddenly made
for the comer Obviously she didn't like the appearance of the woman who
waa looking on Some don't
Begging la against the law of course but what are you going to do
when an aged lady strikes you for a cup of tea? Remembering that cup of
cold water? Besides:
You can’t always go by looks An apparent old fraud may be an angel of
help who Is pawning her respectability that others more helpless may have
bread If It was right for David to kill Goliath why isn't It just aa lawful to
down the wolf at your door with any small atone you may carry In your sling?
Life is only a game anyhow and If you don't hold court cards you’ve got to
play deuces the best you know bow Of course the big rule forbids cheating
—which bucks you Into the law against begging And a law must be obeyed
But anyhow you don't have to act like a policeman unless you wear blue
clothes and a pewter badge — so —
The woman who had watched went her way wishing good luck to the old
soul And the old soul went on with her begging
Maybe she's at It yet
Thought Roman Numerals Latin for Uncle Sam
Third assistant secretary of the treasury newton is a
true-blue American The figures 1 2 3 look better to him than the eo-
called Roman numerals He has issued an order that hereafter the date of
erection of public buildings shall be
put In figures Instead of Roman
numerals Secretary Newton says:
"Even persons of average educa-
tion being unaccustomed to the Ro-
man numerals frequently find con-
siderable difficulty In determining
from the lettering on the public
building Just when It was erected To
many the Roman numerals mean no
31 m°re than 1° the emblems of the
Masonic Order to a person outside of
that Order So Infrequently are the Homan characters now used that many
persons of Intelligence In this couistry believe that the customary date on
public buildings are marks placed there by the engineers
“The misinformation In tills matter was recently Illustrated when a party
of tourists stood gazing at one of the show buildings In Washington One
man In the party pointing to the Roman numerals high up over the door eald:
” ‘What the deuce does that MCXV1 business mean up there?'
“'What' said another ’don’t you know? That's a mark the contractor
puts on It’s his trademark'
‘You're wrong there BUI' exclaimed a third member of the party
‘That's a sign put there by the government It’s Latin tor Uncle Sam' ’’
Mrs Woodrow Wilson’s Ideas on Dress Making

practically facing ruin in that they
are not able to keep their styles ex-

been In the habit of going to Paris
for their swell society gowns which
they buy aa exclusive and for which
they pay a fancy price and high duty
They get them over here only to find
that there are women here who have
worn a fac-atmlle of their gowns for
weeks before they get back and they
have about concluded that the American modiste la Just as artistic and deco-
rative In their designs as any French modlata dare be Mrs Wilson as the
wife of the governor of New Jersey stated that she couid dress on less than
$1000 a year and she Is doing It to her own satisfaction if not to that of the
high-priced foreign modistes She selects her own silks aatlne and lacea and
haa them constructed almost under her own eye many of her little gowna be-

WESTERN CANADA
CAME INTO EVIDENCE
AT THE CRUCIAL PERIOD FOR
SUPPLY OF WORLD'S FOOD-
STUFFS The present demand for foodstuffs
in all paTts of the world and the ex-
pense of producing it on high-priced
lands would make it seem that west-
ern Canada came Into evidence at the
crucial period There Is to be found
the opportunity that will be a large
factor in meeting tlx is demand With
its millions of acres of land easily
cultlvatable highly productive acces-
sible to railways and vtth unexcelled
climatic conditions the opportunities
that are offered and afforded are too
great to be overlooked
There have been booms In almost
every civilized country and they were
looked upon as such and in the course
of time the bubble to pricked and
was burst But In no country has the
development been as great nor aa
rapid whether in city or In country
cis In western Canada
The provinces of Manitoba Sas-
katchewan and Alberta have the larg-
est area of desirable lands on the
North American continent and their
cultivation has just begun
Even with a two hundred million
bushel wheat crop less than eight
per cent of the land Is under the
ploughs four percent being In wheat
Less than five years ago the wheat
crop was only 71000000 bushels It
Ia a simple calculation to estimate
that If four per cezxt of the available
cultlvatable area produces something
over 2 00000000 bushels what will 44
per cent produce? And then look at
the Immigration tlx at is coming Into
the country In 1901 It wag 49149
17000 being rom the United States
In 1906 it was 1890 4 of which 57000
were Americans and In 1913 it was
about 400000 ot which about 140000
were Americans But why have they
gone to Canada? T'he American farm-
er is a man of shrewd business In-
stincts Just like his Canadian brother
and when he finds that he can sell his
own farm at fronx 1100 to $200 per
acre and move into Canada and home-
stead and pre-empt half a section (or
himself and similarly for all his sons
who are adult and of age upon lands
as rich and fertile as those he left
and producing indeed several bushels
to the acre in excess of anything he
has ever known it will take more
than an ordinary effort to prevent him
from making the change
And then too thereto the American
capital following tlxe capital of brawn
muscle and sinew following It so as
to keep In touch with the Industrious
farmer with which it has had dealings
for years back This capital and tha
capital of farming experience Is no
small matter la tlxe building up of a
country
Nothing is said of the great mineral
and forest wealth of which but little
has been touched
No country In the world’s history
haB attracted to its borders a larger
number of settlers in bo short a time
or has attracted so much wealth In a
period of equal length as have the
Canadian prairies Never before has
pioneering been accomplished under
conditions so favorable as those that
exist in western Canada today-Ad-vertlsement
No More “Black Broth” for Him

Lydia E Pin Sham's Vegetable Compound
The many testimonial letters that we are continually put
lishing in the newspapers — hundreds of them— areall genu-
ine true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude
for the freedom from suffering that has come to these
women solely through the use of Lydia E Plnkham s
Vegetable Compound
Money could not buy nor any kind of influence obtain
such recommendations you may depend upon it that an
testimonial we publish is honest and true — ifyouha-veanr
doubt of this write to the women whose true names and
addresses are always given and learn for yourself
Read this one from Mrs Waters
Camden NJ — “1 was sick for two years with nervous spells arid
my kidneys were affected I had a doctor all the time anti used a
galvanic battery but nothing did me any good I was not able to go
to bed but spent mv time on a coucti or in a sleeping-chair and soon
became almost a skeleton Finally- my doctor went away for lx is
health and my husband heard of Ivdia E Pinkham’a vegetable
Compound and got me some In two months I got relief anl now I
am like a new woman and am at my usual weight 2 recommend
your medicine to every- one and so does my husband” — Mrs- Tillji

Now answer this question if you can Why should a
woman continue to suffer without first giving Lydia JL
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial ? You know th at
it has saved many others — why should it fail in you r case?
For SO years Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for fe-
